Taking a good, long look at the serious face of Satanya, I nodded and turned to look at the other Demons as well, wanting to see their reactions to their leaders words, wondering what they thought of this sudden pledge of their allegiance to .
However, as I turned and looked over each and every mber of the Demons gathered from the Beliali and Ciriesa Clans, I was t with only determined and accepting gazes, each of them nodding to as they showed their agreent to Satanya's words.
Of course... Ammit made her opinion known verbally, the previous serious atmosphere broken by her words as she said "Satanya said this was a good way to repay you. Display gratitude. Thanks. Of course, it also is in our own interests as well. Cultivate a relationship with the Scion of Asmodia. Perhaps more. Sothing romantic, perhaps?"
The gold skinned Demoness looked over at us with her unique eyes shining beneath the morning light, making the surrounding Demons all let out sighs and groans as they shook their heads, while Satanya clicked her tongue.
"What? Did I say sothing wrong? Incorrect? Unnecessary? I was only telling-!"
"Yes, I understand Lady Ammit, however sotis... saying less is more, y'know?"
Nakith knelt beside her Lady and smiled wryly at , adding "Please don't pay her any heed, Lady Jahi. She was simply indulging in fantasy is all."
I smirked at that, watching as Ammit tilted her head and said "No? I was hoping to cultivate a romance between Jahi and myself? Perhaps Katherine as well? Especially Katherine... Or not. Perhaps a friendship instead? Though... a union of blood would be preferable. Children."
"Lady Ammit, please! Just... quiet for now, please... let's not anger Lady Jahi..!"
"Anger? Why? Is it not logical to rge physical prowess with arcane might? Desirable?"
Seeing the confusion on her face, I chuckled as I held back the swift rising of anger and instead answered "It would be logical, yes, but I don't want my children borne out of logical decisions. The heart - and by proxy, love - is entirely and wholly illogical. My heart has already been occupied by my three fiancees, and eventually, in the far flung future, I will have a child or three with each of them."
Her confusion deepened, before she turned to inspect each of the won I had been blessed with, that confusion dissipating as she nodded, returning her gaze towards the flas as she muttered "Acceptable. A worthy mix.", making my smirk return as amusent flooded my system.
Satanya clicked her tongue again as she leaned against the crate, staring up at as she said "Anyways, like I said before. Most of us are at your disposal going forwards, so long as its a reasonable request. A few of us need to take Malphas back to Arx Impius, as well as that Deacon. Depending on what you wish to do, I'll send more or fewer Demons back to Arx Impius to report back and begin learning what we can from our prisoner."
Nodding, I crossed my arms and glanced back at Kat before saying "It was the Terracotta Grottos, correct? That was the Dungeon we decided was the best location for us to head to? Rich in natural resources, and should be ripe for the picking now that most of Tragon's human population has been killed?"
The Dogkin nodded, still standing beside the fire and preparing breakfast as she replied "Yes, the Terracotta Grottos was the destination we had in mind. The raw materials that have ford in the absence of any mortals to harvest them should be impressive in quality and quantity. Though that ans the monsters should be tougher as well."
"Not as tough as a Fiend though~! Either way, the Grottos are quite the tight spaces according to our records. Caverns connected via thin, winding tunnels... not sothing we would want a larger party for, but we certainly could use the manpower for the harvesting of the resources, no?"
Satanya let out a low sigh, though considering the neutrality of her gaze, I doubt she particularly cared about the adventure itself and instead was thinking on what she needed to do and what she should do to irritate so more...
"Ronove, Setem, pick three of your Clansn and head back to Arx Impius after the al. That should leave us with enough bodies to make the Terracotta Grottos a cakewalk. We'll need to make our own carts though, but that shouldn't be an issue. Sound good?"
The surrounding Demons all nodded, making their way towards the fire to pick up their bowls and utensils as Satanya added "Well, let's eat and get ready!"
After that, Satanya leaned forwards and smiled up at , ignoring Anput as she whispered "And perhaps during this ti together, you and I can work out just what your reward is of , Jahi... After all, I did say I would do~ anything if you beat in that competition of ours... Anything at all..."
The Demoness gave a seductive smile, only to tilt her head as Anput created a dagger from her mana and stabbed it forwards, cutting the Demoness' cheek as she hissed "Unless she wants to skin you from head to toe, Jahi's not laying a damn finger on your body! So back off before my dagger slices through your throat instead!"
"Ooh~! Feisty, feisty~! So~ scary, Begum... So, so scary..."
Reaching up to wipe away the trickle of blood that wept from the cut, Satanya just gave Anput an empty smile as she pushed off the crate, her hand reaching for her belt.
Sadly for her, I was just a tad quicker, and I snagged her wrist and pulled it forwards, making her stumble as I growled "Boundaries, Satanya. Respect them."
Chuckling, the Demoness relaxed and stared at for a mont, before grinning as she raised her arm and looked at Anput, her voice almost singsong like as she said "Look~! She's laying a finger on , Begum~! See~!"
Letting her go, I sighed as I watched the Demoness leap back to avoid a swift cut from Anput's dagger, before the Jackalkin gave chase with murder on her mind, sothing that made the Demons all chuckle as they watched from around the fire.
Both Kat and Leone were 'smiling' as well, staring at with hollow gazes as they 'warned' about my 'infraction', which only made chuckle wryly as I shook my head, moving to join my fellow Demons around the fire for breakfast.
It made realize just how utterly insane my Mom and I were for our peculiar tastes, since sothing that wasn't even my fault was getting in so much trouble, but...
That trouble would be worth it the next ti we had sex; their craziness was matched by their passion, which made it oh so worth it~!
